:werd: I haveto agree with you on this. Honda (albeit honda officials say wanted the next accord to be more european flavor with a touch of aggression in the design) actually created a mainstream look to the 03 accord. I've seen a few on the road over the past couple of days.

The Ex V6 in Eternal Blue Pearl looks very very nice with the nice looking dual chrome exhaust finishers. The car will be a mainstream hit, which is what the accord intended to be all along.

 

i think the guy who made those comments is Dan Jedlicka from MSN Carpoint.

 

The new Accord is a lot more fun to drive than the model it replaces. Ecspecially the V-6 models and manual 4 cyl. models.
The new V6 is the most smooth, quiet, and powerful V6 engine Honda has ever come out with, except for the TLS.
The new manual tranny is the cripest/smoothest shifting manual gearbox Honda ever created.

 

Geez, just put some better tires on it and get a set of lowering springs and it'll feel just as "sporty" as before. What's all the fuss about?

 

that should be a give away since i posted the link to the article.

 

You don't even need springs, just some S-03's.

 

If Honda wants to have a more Euro like sporting what they need is something similar to the Accord Type R like the TSX just with metal trim interior, aggressive body and headlights, but not overdone like the eclipse, and a six speed!

Just my $2.00 (damn inflation)

 

A.) I finally drove one, a 4cyl EX, and my moms 6th gen is not more sporty.
B.) TSX.

 

maybe we will see an FP edition in the future??

too bad if we did, we'd be paying an arm and a leg for it

 

Am I going to kick myself for not knowing what FP stands for?
